Chapter 105 - Do You Dare To Accept My Challenge? (3)
"Princess, calm down. Although you are a princess, this seems to be the Southern Dusk Empire!" Feng Da reminded her kindly. Why do these princesses like to call others lowly commoners? Are they the only ones with n.o.ble backgrounds? How ignorant!
"Sit down. Don"t make a fool of yourself," the elder from the Rising Dragon Academy roared with displeasure on his face.
Ximen Ya didn"t dare to say anything else and sat down obediently.
"Elder Qiu, I"m so sorry. She is young and insensible. Please don"t take what she says to heart!"
"Elder w.a.n.g, it"s fine. But you"d better keep an eye on her. That la.s.s won"t leave any face for anyone if provoked," Elder Qiu said softly to Elder w.a.n.g.
.
Elder w.a.n.g looked at Leng Ruoxue, who was pretending to be sleeping, and then at the students of the Heavenly Phoenix Academy. Then he looked at the students of his academy. Alas! Why is the difference so big! Their Rising Dragon Academy was the number one academy on the Ling Feng Continent, but no matter how he looked at it now, he felt that the only good students in their academy seemed to be Huo Qing and Ye Xiao. He really didn"t know what kind of dogs.h.i.+t luck the Heavenly Phoenix Academy had! He was so envious!
Elder w.a.n.g"s envious gaze almost made Elder Qiu"s tail curl up, if he had one.
"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!"
"Her Majesty the Empress has arrived!"
The emperor and empress walked in together surrounded by members of the imperial family. Everyone stood up to greet the emperor and empress except for a few top families and the major academies who just nodded.
"There"s no need to be so polite. You are all my guests today. Please have a seat," the emperor said amiably and cordially before sitting on his dragon throne. The empress sat on the shorter phoenix throne beside the emperor"s dragon throne.
"Imperial Father, there are so many guests today, but some are very rude." Suddenly, a discordant female voice sounded in the hall.
"Shut up! What"s the occasion today? Is it your turn to speak?" the empress rebuked in displeasure. Huangfu Yu is too unbridled. Just because the emperor dotes on her, she doesn"t even care about me, the first wife. And she didn"t forget to show off at such a prestigious banquet. How rude.
"Imperial Mother, Yu"er is telling the truth. What kind of crime should she be guilty of for looking down on the imperial family like this?" Huangfu Yu still spoke as she pleased, not taking the empress"s words seriously at all. In any case, her imperial father loved her, and the empress wouldn"t dare to do anything to her, so she was very confident!
"Yu"er, which guest are you talking about? There shouldn"t be such an impolite guest!" n.o.ble Consort Xu, who was sitting on the other side of the emperor, spoke before the emperor could.
"Yt"s her!" Huangfu Yu"s slender jade-like hand pointed at Leng Ruoxue, who was pretending to be asleep with her eyes closed. A scheming smile appeared on her beautiful face. She was just about to look for her when she came knocking on her door.
Everyone"s gazes curiously looked in the direction she was pointing, and their expressions instantly varied. Some were stunned, some were jealous, some were sympathetic, and some were gloating. But everyone was well aware of the reason for Huangfu Yu"s accusation. It was either that this beautiful young lady had offended this sn.o.bbish princess or Huangfu Yu was envious of her beauty and deliberately found trouble with her. Such a thing was nothing in aristocratic families.
The empress also turned her gaze. This girl is so beautiful! She"s still so breathtakingly beautiful with her eyes closed. She turned to look at Shui Xinran. Alas! There"s no comparison. She is like a phoenix in the sky, while the number one beauty on the Ling Feng Continent is like a chicken in the ground.
Huangfu Yu is really becoming more and more promising. She"s even provoking people from the Heavenly Phoenix Academy.
The three academies might not be as powerful as the Five Great Families and the imperial families of the five countries. But the status of the three academies was very transcendent on the Ling Feng Continent. Moreover, the three academies had Spiritual Supremacies, and their status was not inferior to that of the imperial families. So the imperial families of the various countries had always been polite to the three academies. Furthermore, the Heavenly Phoenix Academy had strong momentum in this Academy Compet.i.tion, and it was very likely that it would take first place. They had to be on friendly terms.
But Huangfu Yu… The empress turned to look at the emperor sitting on the throne. Seeing that he had no intention of stopping her, she stopped talking and waited to watch the show.
Leng Ruoxue lazily opened her beautiful eyes and looked around the hall, taking in everyone"s expressions. Finally, her gaze landed on Huangfu Yu. Turns out it"s her!
"Princess, are you talking about me?" Leng Ruoxue smiled charmingly. Her smile was so beautiful that it dumbfounded everyone.
Beautiful! Truly beautiful! The strong were respected in this world, but beautiful women were also pleasing to the eye, especially one with strength. Everyone immediately had different thoughts.
"It"s you! How dare you be so impudent as to not pay respects to my imperial father! How dare you!" Huangfu Yu roared arrogantly.
"Am I being too impudent, or are you being too impudent? How can a princess of a country be so rude to a guest? Is this the upbringing of the imperial family of the Southern Dusk Empire?" Leng Ruoxue"s gaze pa.s.sed Huangfu Yu and gently swept over the emperor sitting on the throne.
The emperor of the Southern Dusk Empire, Huangfu Zhen, felt Leng Ruoxue"s gaze and just smiled calmly. As expected of the Leng family, their imposing manner isn"t something that others can compare to, he couldn"t help thinking.
"Of course you are the one being imprudent! I"m a princess, and you"re just a lowly commoner! How dare you compare yourself to me!" Huangfu Yu said proudly, her face full of arrogance and c.o.c.kiness.
"So Spiritual Sovereigns are all lowly commoners in your eyes, Princess? I understand now…" Leng Ruoxue said softly as beautiful eyes looked at everyone. Among the people present today, other than the imperial family and the important ministers of the Southern Dusk Empire, the weakest was a Spiritual Monarch.
"Spiritual Sovereigns naturally aren"t commoners, but you"re not a Spiritual Sovereign," Huangfu Yu said nonchalantly. In fact, she didn"t even care about Spiritual Sovereigns. What about Spiritual Sovereigns? They still had to be her servants. There was a Spiritual Sovereign among her guards.
"Can a Great Spiritualist like you tell whether I"m a Spiritual Sovereign or not?" Leng Ruoxue said mockingly. At the same time, she felt a few gazes looking at her inquisitively, as though they wanted to know her true strength.
"You…" Huangfu Yu flew into a rage out of humiliation. Without thinking, she grabbed the whip wrapped around her waist and lashed it at Leng Ruoxue"s face…
